A CHEESY Love Story

There once was a little mouse,
Who had big ears and a very small house.
He lived in the cupboard under the stairs,
And when people saw him they were very scared.

On Christmas day he was all alone,
He felt so sad that he started to moan.
He realised that he needed a wife,
Someone that would love him for the rest of his life.

So he packed his things and braced himself,
And with great courage, plunged off the book shelf.
He travelled for days, searching far and wide,
Looking really hard for his mousy bride.

‘Til one day he met a beautiful mouse,
Who he eventually married and became his spouse.
They had heaps of fun as she was his best friend,
They lived happily ever after, and that was the end.
